The Aleksandrov Peak (English, Bulgarian Александров връх Aleksandrow wrach ) is a 2100 m high and mostly icy mountain on the Loubet coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . In the western foothills of the Bruce Plateau, it rises 11 km southeast of Mount Lyttleton , 9.5 km south-southwest of Purmerul Peak , 5.8 km north of Semela Ridge and 13 km northeast of Mount Bain . Its summit is rounded, and its steep south, west and north slopes are partially free of ice. The Erskine Glacier surrounds it to the south and west, and the Byway Glacier to the southeast.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after Todor Aleksandrov (1881–1976), leader of the Bulgarian independence movement in Macedonia .
